well megan one of the kind of loudest arguments against treating her as an enemy combatant is of course the fact that people have been saying guys we have to keep in mind that we're talking about a u.s. citizen who committed a crime on u.s. soil and involving americans and the largest the biggest arguments that legal experts are using is basically if this happens if this person is tried in a military tribunals that would set a major president basically allowing officials to try americans like this and certainly that is something that has been raising lots of eyebrows and you know as we know of course the white house has opted against that option and meanwhile anastasio the t.s.a. announced today they will hold off on a plan policy change to allow small knives on airplanes airplanes that were going to allow people to start carrying knives of less than two point five inches long could this be because of the boston marathon bombings is there any connection between the two. well and you know it's hard to say whether there is a direct link in this particular case you like you say that you sa

i strongly disagree with the obama administration's decision to rule out enemy combatant status for the suspect at this time. i believe such a decision is premature. it's impossible for us to gather the evidence in just a few days to determine whether or not this individual should be held for questioning under the law of war. the decision by the obama administration to try this individual in federal court is a sound decision. it is the right decision. military commission trials are not available in cases like this. i wrote the 2009 military commission act. i have been judge advocate for over 30 years. along with the help of my colleagues, we created military commission system for foreign errorists. i have confidence in the world at the three courts at the federal level do a terrific job. i have confidence in our military commission system. the decision by the administration to not proceed into state court in massachusetts i think was the correct decision. the death penalty slable at the federal level. this is clearly in my view candidate for case to be deemed act of terrorism. here is m
